Mel Kiper projects Reuben Foster to LB needy Bengals

As the days creep toward free agency, and eventually the 2017 draft, there's one main question surrounding the Cincinnati Bengals.

What position do they take in the draft?

Judging by the latest mock drafts from ESPN analysts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay: It's all defense early.

Kiper has the Bengals selecting Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster in his second mock draft with the ninth overall pick. In his first mock draft, Kiper had the Bengals taking Stanford defensive end Solomon Thomas.

Fellow ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay had also had Thomas going to the Bengals in his latest mock draft.
